The gang, who all have their faces covered with motorcycle helmets, tried to steal the scooter from a quiet residential street in Earlsfield, south west London, last night.

This is the moment brazen thieves tried to steal a scooter using an angle grinder in yet another night in London .

CCTV footage from the scene shows sparks flying as the tool tries to slice through the scooter's lock. But despite the best efforts of the thieves, after 25 seconds of cutting there is a loud clash of metal as something is dropped which apparently scares them - causing them all to flee without the scooter.This incident is the most recent in a series of bold bike and scooter thefts in London using power tools.

A similar theft occurred in January last year when a group of thugs used an angle grinder to steal a commuter's bike outside a busy rail station in broad daylight
